re: If we don't make the playoffs next year would it be "underperforming"?

1. Miles' seat is not even warm much less hot. His bosses have no thought of terminating Les now or next year. Miles' seat will become warm to hot only when LSU starts losing profit from football games, ie when ticket sales decrease or attendance decreases in a major way. Dr Alexander, the BOS, and Alleva don't look at wins and losses, they look at LSU Football as a cash cow and as long as it produces, Les is safe.

2. I expect LSU to win double digit games next year. Whether we are in the SECCG depends on how many underclassmen leave, how our qb's improve, and how tough the SECW is next year.
